Top 5 Reasons to Be Alone

Being single can be a drag sometimes. We all want someone to cuddle and talk to, but more than often that's not the case. It's not all bad. Having time to find yourself is a good thing, especially in college. The summer right after high school graduation is vital because that's when we set up our expectations and sort of plan our lives accordingly. The summer following your freshman year of college you realize that those expectations were a little out of focus. For most people, this is the first time they've been free (whatever that means) and they just want to have a good time. There's nothing wrong with that at all. It's really a great feeling, so I've compiled my top six reasons why I'm alone and I'm perfectly fine with it.

1. He's still a child

You're an adult now, so you don't have time for those childish games.

2. You'll have more food

They say that a way to a mans heart is food, but food is a girls first love. Who needs someone always taking the last left over tacos? Not me. Food will be bae forever.

3. You're still young

You have forever to be stressed over someone who takes themselves too seriously. This is your time, girl! Live it up.

4. Grades before babes

It doesn't matter how hot he is, you GPA will always look better. And to be honest, it's probably the most long-term of the two.

5. Senioritis

Senioritis is the worst, but it gets even worse when you have a boyfriend constantly wanting your attention. Trust me, he can wait.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
